2. What type of positions might be of interest to you in this company and why? Provide the title of the job posting.

One of the positions I would be interested in would be Maintenance Mechanical, for the Harley Davidson company. I have always had an interest in repairing things. As a female my Dad and brother in law have taught me some basic mechanics for my vehicle. My husband is also a mechanic for the military, and I think he could teach me a thing or two. Not to mention that according to milwaukeejobs.com this full-time position starts at $40 an hour for the second shift.

3. Provide the job description. When providing the job description, it is okay to copy/paste the job description, but you must provide an in-text citation for the quotation.

“Employees produce engines and transmissions for the final assembly, as well as transmissions, and replacement parts for sale through Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Parts and Accessories business. Join our team as a Maintenance Mechanical and help build the world’s most sought-after motorcycles.

Some things you will do:

• Be awesome and demonstrate H-D valued behaviors in everything you do: be accountable, model integrity, value individuality and diversity, inspire teamwork, and encourage creativity

Once hired H-D offers background checks, drug screenings, and post offer employment test (POET). The POET consist of task such as cardiovascular intake, range of motion measurements, hand grip and pinch strength testing, static lifting, pushing and pulling at various heights and positions, dynamic lifting with progressive weight loading, functional dexterity testing and positional tolerance testing (Milwaukeejobs).

4. What kind of knowledge, skills and abilities are required for the position? What about education, certifications, and experience?

“Candidates must have a Journeyman's Card or five years of applicable experience as Maintenance Mechanic, Industrial Mechanic, Machine Repair, CNC Service Technician, or equivalent trade. A good understanding of Mechanical and Hydraulic systems. Two years of CNC machine repair experience including:

• Interpreting prints of machine assembly, layouts, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems for troubleshooting and repair

• Troubleshooting hydraulic and pneumatic systems

• Utilizing Microsoft Office and computerized Maintenance Management system, or equivalent program” (Milwaukeejobs).

5. Given the research you have conducted on this company thus far; do you believe this company offers an opportunity for professional growth and development? Why or why not?

I do believe the Harley Davidson company offers employees the opportunity to grow and develop since they offer training as well as apprentice positions. With the freedom to be themselves employees are motivated to do their best work. Some locations offer onsite workout facilities allowing employee to continue working out and maintaining their fitness.

6. What do you think about working for this company? 

H-D promises to hire qualified individuals for all positions and offer all employees equal opportunity regardless of race or religion (Milwaukeejobs). This would make me a proud employee/member of the H-D company. Their history and quality of product is well known, and they consider their employees as well as customers family. One of the things I would enjoy and look forward to when working with H-D are their promotional events which are always fun. With the ability for domestic relocation working for H-D allows me to be flexible in case of an emergency relocation or even a promotional relocation.

7. Explain how compensation and benefits might affect your choice of employer. What might be important to you and what would not?

“We offer an inclusive compensation package for all full-time hourly employees including, but not limited to, annual bonus programs, health insurance benefits, a 401k program, onsite fitness centers and employee stores, employee discounts on products and accessories, and more” (Milwaukeejobs). The most important compensations for me would be the health insurance, 401k program, and annual bonuses. The reality is I have a family and these things that need to be taken into consideration when planning for the future and those who depend on you.
